About Milestone Carbon
Milestone Carbon, a business unit of Milestone Environmental Services, LLC (“Milestone”), offers comprehensive solutions for the permanent geological sequestration of CO2—including design, permitting, development, and operations of equipment downstream of capture facilities—for significant industrial emitters. Applying Milestone’s vast knowledge and experience of developing complex injection operations, Milestone Carbon’s customers will benefit from the safe, reliable disposal and monetization of their carbon dioxide emissions through state-of-the-art injection and monitoring facilities.
Focusing on lower complexity projects allows for faster implementation and facilitates expansion for future, larger carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) developments. We know how to execute successful CCS solutions for midstream, power generation, and other significant industrial emitters that safely and permanently disposes of the CO2 more than a mile below the Earth’s surface.
Our experts continuously manage and monitor our wells to minimize risks and ensure the isolation of the CO2. Moreover, from permitting through operations we remain actively engaged with landowners, as well as state and federal regulators and authorities, including the EPA, to ensure every project meets or exceeds strict requirements for safe operations.
Developing reliable sequestration facilities is the core of what we do. Our CCS solutions generate value for stakeholders via tax and fuel credits, as well as help customers reach net-zero goals. Most importantly, Milestone Carbon and its partners contribute to mitigating climate risk by lowering CO2 levels in the atmosphere and Cleaning Up EnergySM.
Milestone’s proven leadership in operational capabilities include:
- Securing land access with attractive geology
- Managing regulatory requirements and long-term obligations associated with CO2 disposal
- Safely drilling and completing UIC-compliant injection wells
- Reliably implementing EPA-approved monitoring, verification, and reporting plans
- Qualifying for tax incentives (e.g. 45Q), carbon offsets, and other environmental attributes
Carbon Sequestration
Policymakers, investors, businesses, communities, landowners, and customers agree that we must reduce CO2 emissions to protect our environment for future generations. Fortunately, producing fossil fuel energy and reducing emissions are not mutually exclusive. Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is a proven technology that allows key industries to operate while decreasing their carbon footprint. In fact, the U.S. is a leader in the capture and injection of carbon dioxide, having successfully executed projects for over 30 years.
The carbon capture and sequestration process can be summarized into four steps:
- Separate the carbon dioxide from other substances into a high concentration (>90%)
- Compress it from a gas into a liquid*
- Transport it through a pipeline
- Inject it deep underground for permanent sequestration
*CO2 is injected as a supercritical fluid which behaves as a compressible liquid.
